It begins with alliances and possibility, as Attuma’s people may join the Empire…but what lies ahead is tragedy, betrayal, and the unleashing of dangerous, deadly magics. A deep dive into Marvel history…and the birth of a threat that will only grow in menace across time.

Yeah this is going to be one I am already planning on reading, I've been out of the buying comics loop since the whole Pandemic, and I have not felt like going back in as of late, this is going to be one I need, as always a sucker for all things Symbiote
Will Knull be a BAF or deluxe figure?...we will probably get another new venom in the process.
Another tiresome event which will probably lead to more Venomised characters...
